Don't quite know how to react to that. And in almost 1 minute worth of filming there was one glimps of the rooster. You are a strange man John. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() dalessit - 2010-07-15 10:36 PM I am so confused by all the quotes. Mark, As far as the cleats go, it's really tough to tell, helps to get a fitter to check it out. Only other option would be to move it around and ride to see if it gets better. If you are having problems with one leg vs. the other, fit could be the cause. If you haven't done so already tighten up the cleats on the bottom of your shoe - you can adjust the cleat tension on the pedal itself if you are worried about clipping out quickly. For the me, the right place is over the ball of my foot. This reduces the amount of calf muscle I put into every stroke. also, make sure that you are not pointing your toes downward as you go throught the bottom of the pedal stroke - this will give you pain in the back of your legs as well... Mental image - you are a bull, pawing the ground flatly with every pedal stroke - you are not a fairly daintly ballet dancing through the pedal stroke... Edited by ashort33 2010-07-16 8:55 AM |

I did tighten them up last night, I didnt get a chance to test them but I have a 75 mile ride sunday (hopefully). |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Help me MG - on Tue night I went out for a run sans socks. I raced w/o socks on Sunday, so no biggie - right? Well no, not really, I got a nickel-quarter sized blister on the back of my heel that had already tore open by the time I got done with my 5k. I tried to go run last night, but it hurt badly in my running shoes. I need to keep running. How have you all run through a blister like this? Is there some magic spray like second skin or something. A band aid doen't quite cut it... |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have used medical tape before, kind of hurts to take off but gets me through it. Some of those really good blister circle bandaids hold on pretty well as well. |

Sounds a little suspicious - isn't the Droid X available today???? Convenient timing to say the least. ![]() You should harrass your old phone, make calls to it posing as bill collectors every 10 minutes or send texts that make them think they stole from the wrong guy - think Mafia-type stuff. Make it as irritating for them to have the phone as it is for you to be without it. |

I raced w/o socks on Sunday, so no biggie - right? Well no, not really, I got a nickel-quarter sized blister on the back of my heel that had already tore open by the time I got done with my 5k. I tried to go run last night, but it hurt badly in my running shoes. I need to keep running. How have you all run through a blister like this? Is there some magic spray like second skin or something. A band aid doen't quite cut it... Two blister options from an old hockey player.....you have never broke anything in as hard as new skates. Always use a bunch of vaseline in your shoe and on the blistered area until its gone. 1. Moleskin - Can be bought at Walgreens, CVS, etc. Kind of like a band-aid but gives more movement over the blister and can be cut to size. This is your best choice. 2. Liquid Band-aid- Cut the top of the blister off and spread liquid band-aid on the blister area. Warning...this hurts like you have never felt before, but in a couple of hours of drying (best overnight) you will be able to not feel the blistered area at all. My theory is it takes all the blister pain you would have for a couple of days and condenses it to about a minute! ![]() Hope this helps. Dino |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() Andy- I use the ones in the middle. They stay on great and have a little extra padding to protect the blister/raw skin. John- That really sucks. I hope the cameras caught the A-holes who did it. Linda- I'm so sorry. Glad you two are OK though. I'm back from the South and happy to be breathing crisp air! ![]() |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Does anyone know if Vineman 70.3 sells out quickly? I plan to sign up for next year. It'll be perfect timing in prep for IMCA. Just wondering if I should be waiting online for it to open or if it usually stays open for a bit. |

If there is any bright side, it is probably better that it is a rental and not your own car. Hope you can enjoy the rest of your trip |
